Accept Canvass of March 10, 2015 Bond Election F. Education Foundation Board Member Approval Vice-chairperson Nelson asked if any Board Member would like to remove any item from the Consent Calendar to the Regular Agenda. Hearing none, he then asked if any Board Member had any questions with regard to the Consent Calendar. Vice-chairperson Nelson then asked for a motion with regard to the Consent Calendar. MOTION: Jeff Bird made the motion to approve the Consent Calendar. Amy Landers seconded. The vote was 4 in favor with 0 opposed and 0 abstentions. Motion was carried. VI. Public Input Pursuant to Board Policy #1550 Public Participation in Board Meetings Public Input shall be held to a maximum of 1 hour and will provide an opportunity for any Board Member, administrator, staff member, student, or patron to raise issues of interest. The Board will receive such input without comment, except to ask germane questions of those speaking. Comments should be limited to three (3) minutes. The Board will take no action relative to any items during the meeting, but may direct the Superintendent to consider such an item at a subsequent meeting. Vice-chairperson Nelson went over the following rules and protocol for public input. 1. State your name and address for the record 2. Each person will have the floor for a maximum of 2 minutes because of the number of people in attendance 3. Written comments must include your name, address, and telephone number 4. Face the Board not the audience 5. Will note and not discuss at this time Vice-chairperson Nelson asked those who wish to participate to sign the list in the back and then asked for that list to be brought forward. Karla Harris 5690 E. Lincoln Road - she apologized if her comment is irrelevant because the Board seems to do public input before they do business. She sent a copy of a video to the Board showing an interview with Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of State with Charlie Rose. He stated that he sees the schools as the center of the community and a vision of schools being open 13 or 14 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week, 12 months of the year. That is a little creepy to her. Her comment is with regard to the Right at School Program. She is concerned that by contracting with this program you will help fulfill this vision and replace the family as the center of the community. She feels that the motives and intentions of the Board are genuine. Vice-chairperson Nelson stated that the Board appreciates the video that was sent. It was interesting. Lorna Erickson -2935 Meadow Lane – She has a big concern about parental rights at school. The parent has the right to educate and make any decision for raising their child as a minor. That includes every right at school whether to opt out of the test, to pull a child out, to immunize or not immunize. Anything that has to do with that child, she as a parent needs the right to make decisions for her child. It is not the State’s right or the Federal Government’s right to take any parental rights away from her as a parent to parent her child as she sees fit. Making one decision can snowball into other decisions. Sometimes you look at it as a favorable thing to make a decision that affects everyone. As soon as you start taking a parental right away it is compromised. It is not always going to be what we want. We get the right to say what we want for our children. Kent Patterson 3101 John Adams – with regard to the Right At School program he has had his questions answered. It is something that has been discussed and looked at. He thinks it will be a good thing for the students as we offer after school programs and enrichment opportunities that are available. That can be accommodated at the elementary schools. Vice-chairperson Nelson stated that the Board has parents and students concerns in mind. Steve murphy 5344 E Lincoln Road – He voted no in the last election and that is his opinion. He is concerned that there were quite a few signs stolen during the last election. His sign was taken down once and he put it back up. He caught four Bonneville High School students who had about 30 signs in the back of their car. They were all No signs. He called the police. If he were to press charges, it would be a felony. The four young people wanted to apologize to him. He allowed them to come to his house to apologize if he could tell them why he was voting no. The board and Superintendent Shackett are responsible for teachers. The kids told him that their teachers at Bonneville High School told them to do anything in their power to stop the No Vote and get people to vote yes. So the teachers during instructional period are telling the students to stop the No Vote. The school board needs to make sure teachers do not tell people what to do on school time. They are supposed to be instructing kids and not telling them to stop the No Vote. That is irresponsible. If he wanted to press charges, there would be four students with felony charges for something their teacher told them to do. Deputy Superintendent McConnell asked Mr. Murphy if he had the name of the teacher or teachers. He does not have the name of the teacher. There is a police report. He doesn’t think it is just one teacher but many. They keep hearing things. He also talked to someone who goes to Hillcrest that was told if they got two yes votes they would get an A for the day if not they would get an F. Mrs. McConnell reiterated that if she could get the names of the teachers the District would follow up. Mr. Murphy indicated that she would have to talk to the four students because he didn’t prod them and he doesn’t know who the teachers are. His thing is done and he accepted their apology. He wants to bring the matter to the school district that there is a problem here. We are here to educate children and not try to tell them what to do with this stuff. The Board needs to stand up and say it needs to stop. People should be able to post a sign or have an opinion without being attacked. Mr. Hill lives across the street from Mr. Murphy and his sign was also taken. Vice-chairperson Nelson stated that signs from both sides were disappearing all over. Mr. Murphy thinks it is mainly the youth who are doing it. The administration has talked to teachers and let them know that as a District we need to be neutral during school hours. Vice-chairperson Nelson stated that this would be something we could look into a little further and make sure grades are not given for these kinds of activities. John Murdock 578 Safstrum Place he is the principal at Ammon Elementary School. He wanted to address Right At School with regard to the opportunity for parents to have the right to make choices. District 93 is a community but within that community we have multiple schools where every school is unique to their own school. This program gives parents the opportunity to tailor it to their interests and with their own needs as far as afterschool programs and allow them to stay in their own community with their own kids friends. He feels that it is good that District keeps their eyes open for different programs that allow students and parents to make those choices for themselves and to do it at a community level. It is not a district-wide mandate and he appreciates the School Board for looking into that and allowing them to do what is best for their students and their parents. Becky Foster has concerns with Right At School. This was all started with the inner city of Chicago. Her question is do we need this and are we the type of community that needs the same thing as the kids in inner city Chicago? She worries that it may take away other programs. There are a lot of city and community lead basketball and volleyball teams that use the gyms. She wondered if a private company would get to decide what to do at the schools. She is concerned that this company is making a profit and what would happen to the city of Ammon. Her question was really about the curriculum for this last year. Will the Board review the curriculum and decide whether it is successful or not? She also wondered if parents could be involved in that process. The District spent a lot of money for the curriculum. For her daughter, it has not been a great success for her this year. Vice-chairman Nelson stated that Mrs. Hix does that constantly during the year and works closely with Mr. Woolstenhulme. Mrs. Hix stated that we usually monitor curriculum through our testing results. Our math scores on the STAR testing this winter are up. Mr. Woolstenhulme stated that the test scores didn’t drop significantly but he does not have that data in front of him this evening. The average student growth percentiles have not dropped significantly district-wide. Mrs. Foster wants to have parents involved and have them allowed to come in and review that as well. Mrs. Hix will call Mrs. Foster and work out an arrangement. Sharee Smith 1145 Fall River Road – She has a comment about the athletic training program the Board is talking about changing. She read a statement from Dr. Casey Hanson who was unable to attend tonight. There are some interested orthopedic doctors here in town and they would like to make the District another offer. They would put together a team that would include exceptional medical coverage, education for the coaches, hands on opportunities and apprenticeships for the students. They were wondering if the Board would postpone a decision for a month. There would be a team of Doctors who are local that parents could utilize and not have to go to Blackfoot to see the orthopedic doctors there if our students are hurt. She was advocating for the local team of doctors and wondered if the Board would be interested in doing that. Vice-Chairperson Nelson stated that this a program brought to the Board from Blackfoot Memorial Hospital because they are a non-profit hospital they need to do outreach work. They are doing this as part of their outreach work. Ms. Smith wondered if it is volunteer work and if so why does the District need to sign a contract. The contract lets each party know what they are responsible for and what each will do. It will allow the hospital to hire athletic trainers for the full year. We are not paying anyone for this service. Ms. Smith asked the board to postpone the approving the contract so local doctors will have a chance to put together the same type of agreement so kids won’t have to go to Blackfoot if they are injured. There is no obligation to go to doctors in Blackfoot. They can go to their own doctors here in Idaho Falls. Vice-chairperson Nelson closed public input and moved on to new business. He asked Mr. Owen to introduce the debate team state champions as well as Bob Clayton. Mr. Clayton announced that they just won the District 6 Speech Championship as well. VII. New Business A. Honor Bonneville Debate State Champions – Levi Owen, Robert Clayton Mr. Clayton introduced the following students to the Board. Elissa Berrington, Avian Blumhorst, Gage Bottles,, Augustin Carbonnelle, Connor Adam Davis,, Maximillian Doren, Ellizabet Marie Gonzalez, Tucker James Lovell, Ridge Maupin, Jory Meng, and Tucker Guy Robertson. They qualified five students to participate in Nationals in Dallas, Texas this June. B. Honor Bonneville High School Student Council – Levi Owen, Krista Bumgardner Mr. Owen gave background and said they wanted to improve what they were doing as a student council and become more service and outreach oriented. They have worked very hard to earn both state and national honors. He introduced Mrs. Bumgardner and student council representatives. Mrs. Bumgardner stated that the student council has exceeded her expectations as their advisor. In February they were awarded the overall student council outstanding achievement for the state of Idaho. So, they were number 1 in the State of Idaho. Last week they were awarded the highest award from the National Association of Student Councils. It is the first time they submitted for both awards. They have to show service to the community and Bonneville High School along with leadership skills. She introduced Hannah Jorgensen, Whitney Johnson, and Keona Barrette who put together the portfolios that allowed the student council to win both awards. Vice- chairperson Nelson stated that these are well deserved awards and congratulated the students and Mrs. Bumgardner. C. One Nomination - No Election - Pursuant to Idaho Code Section 33-502B, the Board declared Paul Jenkins elected as a Trustee for Zone 4 and no election will be held. He will officially take office in July. D. Classified Employee of the Year - Shalene French Dr. French introduced the 2014-2015 Classified Employee of the Year, Patti Wade. She has served in many capacities throughout the District. Michaelena Hix and Marjean McConnell are her supervisors. Dr. French appreciates Mrs. Wade and when the committee met, they all knew her motto, “Have a Magical Day” and she means it. Mrs. Hix thinks that Patti’s reputation precedes her. She was hired when Dr. Goodworth was superintendent. She is very gracious and kind and takes good care of her “girls”. She and Mrs. McConnell could not do their jobs without her. Mrs. McConnell stated that Patti always has a positive attitude o matter what and she is kind to everyone who she sees and meets during the day. E. Report on the State of the District - Right at School Survey Results – Deputy Superintendent Marjean McConnell She talked about Right At School that is a tuition based afterschool program. We looked at an afterschool program four or five years ago that would have been run by folks in the District. We decided not to pursue it at that time. When we heard about Right At School, we felt it would meet the needs of many of our parents. Mrs. McConnell introduced Adam Case, Chief Operating Officer, for Right At School. He will give some background, talk about the results of a survey, and answer questions that were submitted by a Board Member. Mr. Case talked about the partnership that the Board is considering. They have talked with the Board and the principals earlier. Bonneville School District is the type of district they would like to work and partner with. They want to inspire a love of learning in the students who attend the program. That is central to everything they do. A few weeks ago they put out a survey and there was a tremendous response with over 550 families completing it. Of those, 46% said they would use the program full or part-time. They will start a program at a school will at least 15 students. There was an overwhelming response rate. Of those responding, 33% indicated occasional use of one hour enrichment classes and 43% would enroll in classes at least once per week. The most requested classes were team sports, dancing, and art. Right At School is thrilled with partnership they are building with principals and parents. He then asked if there were any questions. Vice-chairperson Nelson asked if the District would fund any of the activities and if so what they would be. There would be no funding responsibility from the District. Right At School gives revenue back to the District. Mrs. McConnell has talked to principals that have used the program. Right At School handled and ran the program and it didn’t interfere with the principal’s school responsibilities. They left the buildings clean and well taken care of. Right At School carries liability insurance that covers anything that happens. Another question was with regard to whether Right At School would be available during Summer, Christmas, and Spring breaks. That would be a District decision. The leadership team has talked a little bit about the concept. If there are enough parents who would use the service it maybe be and consolidated and offered at specific schools according to the need. Mr. Bird asked to have Don Trauntvein discuss the utility costs that the District might incur if it were to allow the program to be made available during breaks. Mr. Trauntvein stated that the lighting runs somewhere between $.67 cents and a dollar per hour depending on which library they choose to use. If they use the gyms, the cost jumps up more depending on site. Heating shuts off at 3:00 but building temperatures will hold. As a result the heating costs will be minimal. It may be a little more during the winter months but not a lot. The cost for running during Spring break and Christmas break will need to be calculated. It could be between $250 and $300 per day to run the heat and lights during those times. Some buildings make better use of utilities and it would be dependent on what facilities are to be used. If the library at Cloverdale were to be used, that is independent of the rest of the building so that would be much less than if one classroom were to be used because the whole building would need to be heated. Mrs. McConnell stated that the District would work with Mr. Trauntvein depending on the number of parents who would be interested in using the program during breaks and which facilities to use. Mr. Bird wanted to know if the incoming revenue would cover those costs. Those numbers are unknown at this time, but if it would not cover the costs, we would choose not to offer the program during those times. Mr. Case reiterated that the interest among parents is high and that some schools are not as high as others. If they were to run a summer camp or during spring break or Christmas break, it would not be at every school and it would depend on the interest level. There is enough interest to run the Right At School program at every elementary school. If there is interest, Right At School will work with specific schools and on specific days as needed. Mr. Bird was concerned whether the program would interfere with elementary school gym usage. They are will use different spaces. Mrs. Landers wondered if the employees of this program would be given keycard access since it will be held after hours. It is by school and they will work with the District’s security procedures on site and adapt to them. It could be a building by building decision. It could be the one who is overseeing the site that will let people in. We have custodians in the school the whole time they are in school. Everything is about the relationship with the school. Right At School will be there when school ends. We have evening custodians that will lock up the buildings. There was also a concern about how access would be allowed on days when there is no school or if the program is run during the summer months, who will monitor the halls when the principal or a district employee is not on site. There will be only one door to allow parents and students in. They control access so there are not unattended children or other persons in the building. They have never had an issue with an issue with unattended children or other persons in the building. It is made clear in training for staff to make sure nothing like this happens. Vice-chairperson Nelson wondered if the District is able to choose whether we want to have a summer program. The District can choose whether it wants to have a summer program. He then asked about the number of hours the program would be open each day. The majority of parents responded that they would like the program to run until 6:30 or 7:00. If there is enough interest in going later it can happen. Right now we are only looking at an afterschool program. He then asked how late the program runs during the school year. The survey asked parents how long they would like the program to run. 6:30 p.m. was the majority of responses. That is 3.5 additional hours that the schools would be open. They don’t anticipate running the program on the weekends. The District won’t offer the program if there is not a need for it. The District will look at running the program on holidays and during the summer on an as needed basis. Mr. Bird wondered how meals would be handled. An after school snack will be provided and parents can send additional food with the child. Mrs. Landers was concerned that some of the schools had a lot of students interested. Some were upwards of 58 students. That is double what a classroom normally has. She wondered how Right at School would house that many kids. Right At School operates programs of 60 – 100 students and then another 100 students using the enrichment programs. They are used to the logistics of working with large groups of students. The classroom management of students is operated at a maximum rate of a 1:15 ratio. The licensing requirement in Idaho is 1:24. All of the employees are trained in behavior management and classroom management. Mrs. Landers wondered how they worked with furniture for the students. They typically use existing furniture. They can use cafeteria tables or use a section of the hallway. They used to putting furniture up and down as needed. They will always work with principals. Someone from Right At School will be in the area to meet with individual schools and principals to talk about areas that will work and the possibilities. The other schools that Mrs. McConnell and Dr. Shackett contacted said that everything was picked up and put away every day. BYU practicum students will come down and work with the students on Monday and Wednesday classes and Tuesday and Thursday classes as well. So the ration will be much better on those days. It is a win-win situation for the practicum students as well. Everyone will be background checked before they are able to work with kids. There were questions about insurance. They are very well insured and there has not seen an incidence where a district was named as a defendant. There was a question regarding how the BYUI practicum students would be chosen to partner with Right At School and the District. The students enroll in a class at BYUI and then participate as part of their class work. These students are not hired but do it for credit. They are not student teachers but getting experience before they become a student teacher. They won’t count in the student to teacher ratio and will bring additional curriculum ideas, etc. It will be a huge benefit and BYU-I will cover the background checks for these students. The employees for Right At School will cover the background check – Is this a daycare program with the ability to offer classes – the program is an enrichment their program. Mrs. Landers wondered if the program is a daycare program with the ability to offer enrichment classes. They are different than traditional daycare in that they have a fitness period, time to do homework that will help to the children, and other activities. Then they offer additional one (1) hour enrichment classes if parents are interested. The parents would pay addition for the enrichment classes. Those classes won’t typically start until November. At Hillview 80% of parents were interested in enrichment classes. In some cases, we may have more enrichment classes than after school childcare. We feel like it is a good program. Elementary principals are on board with the program. It is an opportunity to partner with BYU-I and an option to help parents and kids. We can then hire some of the excellent well trained people to come and teach for us in the District. It is strong program that will be very viable in our community. Mr. Nelson wondered about the length of the contract. It is three (3) years with a 90 day termination right for convenience. There was a question regarding who is in charge if there are accidents. The onsite structure is always the same with site managers (trained in CPR and First Aid) and one or more educators. There is a strict protocol in terms of serious and non-serious injuries. Vice-chairperson Nelson asked if there were any other questions from the Board. Right at School Contract Vice-chairperson Nelson then asked for a motion regarding the Right At School Contract. Mrs. Landers doesn’t feel she is in a good position to make this decision. As a District we shouldn’t be in the business of day care. She is very interested in the enrichment classes and she feels a lot of kids would benefit from those. She doesn’t feel like she can support the program with a daycare. MOTION: Jeff Bird made the motion to table the question until a later date when all five Board members are together and get the answers to the questions written before they vote on the question. Mr. Bird wants to get input from the community. He feels it would be a better decision if it was made at a later date. Mrs. McConnell stated that one of the concerns is the ability to hire top candidates. The longer we wait, there is less opportunity to get quality people. There are a lot of candidates who are ready and willing now to be involved. The longer we wait, the less opportunity we have to get people hired. If we wait until school is out, it will difficult to get children registered. Mr. Bird wants more clarity on the subject. He doesn’t feel that at this point he can support it. There is another issue. That is we may lose the opportunity to partner with BYUI students. The university needs to set up classes and students need to know their schedule when they registering. It is important to get started now. Mrs. McConnell doesn’t want to see the question tabled at this time. She feels it is important to move ahead. Right At School needs to do licensing for each program. She offered to have Mr. Case answer any questions that have not yet been answered. Mrs. Amy thinks that using BYUI students is great but she more interested in enrichment program. She is concerned with the wear and tear on our schools, and whether the program will bring in enough to cover our expenses as a District. She doesn’t feel like it is in the District’s best interest to have the daycare piece. She supports enrichment classes and the BYUI students coming to help. Mrs. McConnell stated that the enrichment classes will not involve the BYUI students. Those will be taught by experts coming in. We have 260 parents would like it as daycare. We should help them by providing the service as well as help with homework .If Board doesn’t act on this it will be a missed opportunity. Mr. Case has never had an issue with wear and tear on buildings. The revenue share typically far exceeds the costs. Most District’s typically share over $250,000 in revenue. We are also looking at this as an opportunity for our part time people who could work for us part time and Right At School part time thus giving them more income. Mr. Nelson feels that principals think that it is a good opportunity and excited about the program. This could be a zero hour for elementary school. This would be an extra opportunity for those kids who are struggling. Principals are often asking about how they can get more opportunity to help students with reading. The Title I program is not long enough. Mrs. Winchester stated that the District has looked for a long time for an after school program. This is a good opportunity to start and see how an after school program works. It is something we offer parents as a choice and it would be a great opportunity. Vice-chairperson wondered if we could do this on a smaller scale. They hire a full-time area coordinator. The program grows the most the first year. It gives a great option to parents. They really believe in the great partnership. It would be hard to do it on a smaller scale. There was no second. The Motion died for lack of a second. Vice-chairperson asked for other motions.
